Criminal investigation (1st ed ) An Illustrated Case Study Approach
Auteurs : Lasley James, Guskos Nikos
CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION: AN ILLUSTRATED CASE STUDY APPROACH is today's most modern, complete, visual, and 'reality-based' guide to criminal investigation. Unlike other texts, it presents both written cases and a full sequence of photos for each case, enabling students to view crime scenes from top-to-bottom, and realistically apply investigative concepts. The authors first introduce core investigative tools, demonstrating the proper use of law and evidence gathering techniques. Next, they present detailed methods for investigating a wide spectrum of specific crimes. Each type of crime is illuminated with a detailed case study and a complete series of properly-sequenced crime scene photos. This text's 'no punches pulled' coverage helps students understand exactly what to expect in the field. It also contains detailed coverage of many crimes that other books overlook, including street gang crime, and crimes involving explosives.
